Congrats on your purchase. You had a really clean looking RSX. Kind of a good thing that you got rid of it though, especially with all the stolen Honda's / Acura's in the Northwest part of Houston. It would have been very unfortunate to see another clean RSX stolen in Houston.
IP's are one of my favorites and damn near any color scheme will go with an IP. When you have the time, I'd recommend you check out the body kit thread in my signature to give you an idea of what route you can go externally.
I also notice on your RSX that you have a Jtran sticker. They're a great shop and a great bunch of people and VERY VERY knowledgeable when it comes to our platform. Johnny and Amber won't hesitate to help you out.
Looking at your car, it looks like you got one of the really rare base models, since you don't have the moonroof but I'm somewhat confused because it's a 2005 and with OEM rays. If I remember right, the base models with no moonroof were essentially only introduced in the 2003 model, unless a few of them were also made for the later years as well.
Just to satisfy my curiosity, do you have any pictures of the interior?

Anyways, yes it is rare to not have a moonroof. And let me specify to you what I was insinuating with your model. The ones that come with no moonroof are generally the base model with the cloth style interior with factory 17" wheels, and these were the early 2003 models.
Your car, seems to be even more rare because not only does it not have a moon roof, but it's a 2005 and also has the leather interior as well as the 19" OEM forged Rays instead of the crappy 17" wheels. Also, your interior is that of the 2005-2007 models, since the 2003-2004 interiors are completely different from the later years.

I'm assuming that when you say Justin with the white 370Z, you're referring to Justin Brown with the white Amuse GTM TT 370Z that Baker Tuning worked on?

Oh I've met him at Cars and Coffee a few months ago. Really cool guy.
And to answer your question, it does seem like it did. Which is kind of confusing. You don't have a moon roof, but you also have all the 2005 sport options like the aluminum sport pedals and the red orange stitching on the steering wheel.
For some strange reason, you just don't have a moonroof.

On another note, I tried removing the side trim yesterday... The rear trim pieces came off smooth but the actual trim on my door wasn't really. Once I got it off you could still see a discolor compared to the rest of my door.. Even after buffing it. There's like a really thin blackish line from the 3M tape originally used that seems impossible to remove unless I wetsand it :/
